I was looking for some new lemon bar recipes last month and stumbled upon this recipe made by lots of different people using the same ingredients. I figured I had to give it a try and I’m so glad I did. The results were fantastic. And If I hadn’t been making these goodies for others, I might have consumed much more than was good for me.
I do have a few recommendations for making this recipe successfully, however. First of all, this recipe really CANNOT be doubled and put in a larger pan. Because more ingredients take longer to cook, the white chocolate chips will dissolve into the bar so that you can no longer see them.
It still tastes divine but the presentation is not as lovely. It also tends to caramelize a little more if you have to cook it longer. Also, make the effort to find REAL white chocolate chips–don’t use premiere white baking chips (vanilla chips). Find REAL white chocolate. Look at the ingredient list. If there’s not cocoa butter in the ingredients they’re NOT white chocolate chips.
We have only two grocery chains in the DFW metroplex that carry white chocolate chips: Kroger and Trader Joes. They each carry their own private brand. All the other stores carry only white (vanilla) chips. This recipe really tastes heavenly with true white chocolate chips. Don’t settle for less!
Lemon White Chocolate Gooey Bars are really sensational, plus they’re easy to make, and only use 7 ingredients. If you’re looking for a divine lemon bar to serve for Mother’s Day or any other holiday, birthday, or special occasion (including holiday baking), these lovely blondies should be on your radar. They are to die for. Really.
